Some folks share about these things, some do NOT. I do not...Similar to some folks blabb'n about their work salaries, I believe that is a not a smart thing at all.......

My parents and teachers tried, with at least some success, to teach me manners as a youngster and one rule was that you never asked someone how much they earned or how much they paid for something.

Some folks, I suppose, would consider that horribly old fashioned.

It was shocking to me because I am on numerous forums & can't remember ANYONE bluntly asking what someone paid for their car before.


No one can gauge anything about what things are actually worth by knowing what someone paid for a vehicle that you can only see a couple of pictures of on a web forum. That would be like watching Barrett-Jackson & saying... Well that one is worth that much, so mine is too!

Rather than jack up your thread even further, I started a thread about this in the clubhouse. Come on over if you like.

Thanks for the offer, but I will not drop down to your level. I don't much care for drama & if you are looking for someone to try to offend, you picked the wrong person, I cannot be offended...Just a fact!

The limited time I have to be on the forum, I choose to use picking up tips & seeing other folks projects. Debating respect & decency with you would be a waste of my time.

God Bless

I'm not looking to offend anyone, apparently unlike you when you talk about "dropping down to my level".. that's far more offensive than my asking what price you paid for a car. I'm looking to have a debate about something, when someone accuses me of being rude for some reason yet cannot explain why or justify their position. That's offensive to me. I don't care for being called rude when I know I'm not being rude.

Thank you to all the gentlemen who posted positive comments about my new toy!

I am excited to get to work on it over the holidays. Plans are to send the bumpers out for chroming & decide whether to strip it to bare metal & shoot the whole thing or just touch up the minor spots on the bottom & hood. I will also be looking for a tilt column, console & buckets. Don't know if I will stay stock or do something more modern. It will not be a numbers matching car, so I don't think I will mess it up!

God bless

Bill, I commend you on a GREAT addition to your garage, really like it. Dual Quad rocks! I also commend you on your total diplomacy.

[lemansboy70]

Have fun with it!

It will be a cool cruiser no matter which way you go.

Everyone has a right to privacy. To disclose any information on a public forum is entirely the prerogative of the person holding that information.

Often price can be sensitive around the time of purchase for multiple reasons but as time passes that sensitivity often wanes. Sometimes people pay what they think is a premium just to get something they desire but they might imagine that others might consider them foolish for paying that premium. Then as time passes, it does not really matter so much and if the purchase price is questioned later, the buyer may well think he has bought well and readily discloses the price.

No-one knows more than me that I have overpaid a price sometimes but I am invariably pleased with what I bought. But why tell if really its no one else's business.

Well said Bill. ... It Nun Yah.................Nun of yah business !

Bill, touching on dual quad's. There is an interesting article on the POCI web-site. It details, in depth, how to build a dual quad setup and make it look and perform like an authentic period correct unit. It is actually written by a good guy on this Forum named John Reeder. He goes by 61-63 on the forum. It is a very informative read, if you get the chance.
Good Luck
Tony

Thank You Tony,

I will definitely look into that article!

Thanks everyone who has commented for the support.

Wow...I love those mid-year Pontiac B-bodies. The big cars are the only ones I like in a convertible. That's a fine looking example.

[Stuart]

Good looking car - I've always liked the 1966 and 1965 models. Is the color Candlelight Cream? It looks a lot like the Mayfair Maize 1965 Grand Prix I used to have.

I'd say yes...in '65 they had Mayfair, '66 Candlelight Cream, '67 Montego Cream, and '68/'69 back to Mayfair Maize...almost the same colors.. My first '68 was Mayfair. Did not like it at first but now one of my favorite colors with a black interior.

The guy I got it from said it was Mayfair Maize, but I have no idea. Truth be told...I haven't even unloaded it off the trailer, just backed the whole thing inside the shop. I have one more transport starting tomorrow with the other truck & enclosed trailer that will take up to Thanksgiving. I am done for the year after that & will get into it then!

God Bless

Thank you sir! I am happy with what I paid for it & excited to get started on it.

Gary, more pictures will have to wait until after Thanksgiving, I am leaving on a long transport tomorrow & won't be back till the day before. This trip is with the other truck & trailer so I didn't have to unload it.

God Bless

Great car Bill! I have had a few of these cars in the 65 thru 68 years and they are really nice to drive! Hopefully we will see it at the next Norwalk show! I am looking for a 71 thru 72 Lemans vert now! Smaller for me!! Fred
